Summary
It’s surreal, that Alatus’s nightmare of five hundred years could end with a single arrow.
Five centuries at Mistress’s feet, five centuries soaked to the elbow in blood so her hands could remain clean. Five centuries choking on the sickly-sweet dreams she pushed down his throat, shivering in both disgust and euphoria. And here five centuries end, no glory in her short and simple death, no grace in the way she sprawls lifeless on the marble.
Morax frees Alatus from the dream-goddess's service, and in doing so, he gains the dearest and most loyal companion he's ever known. Through the Archon War and after, through years of suffering and loss, Zhongli and Xiao struggle towards a happier future.
Or, Zhongli and Xiao pine for millennia, suffer a lot, comfort each other even more, and finally forge a happy ending for themselves.
Written for ZhongXiao Week 2022.
